^ ? doesn't sound super shocking to me. You know, English is new language, cultures aren't trying to change just because English speakers like it. For instance popular female in Israel is "Or" which means "Light".

Sounds like Arabic, "Nur" (Light). The American Queen of Jordan was Nur al Hussein (Lisa Hallaby).

Pretty much, since they're both of the same group (semitic), there is some similarity but not enough to be mutually intelligle. Staying on topic the similaity is likely on the same level as Bulgarian-Russian - not too much but still existing.

Are there any more 'interesting' names like that in Bulgaria?

Ivanka...no joke, names that end on "ka" are considered village-names or names that old people have. Ivanka gotta be the most "redneckish" one as Ivan is very old, babies are hardly named Ivan or Vladimir these days.

Yes, I've noticed that, when listening to interviews/conversations between Israeli leaders and Arabic-speaking leaders. As a Russian and Serbo-Croatian speaker, I can understand Bulgarian. Having that South Slavic element (Serb/Croat) is very helpful. I've also seen Yugoslavs (back in the day) and Bulgarians carry on conversations with each other. It can be done, when there's a necessity.
Serbian is close but Macedonian is 80%-90% the same.
